Derek and Bryan trapping at the Kelly dump with two net launchers. Vince and Tom at Refuge. Tom spots 12 sage grouse at point above Grand Canyon and Vince does not see any satellite leks out on the flats. The sage grouse are only around for about 5 minutes after light, and then fly to the N/NW. Derek and Bryan set off both net launchers. Catch 11 grouse. 1 male gets away during processing before it is processed. 6 radio transmitters are put on 6 females and 4 males are processed and banded. Good signals coming from all birds that afternoon.
